Sprint's iDEN Network Shuts Down Tonight
when does 800 mhz CDMA start?

when do we finally get to use the 800 ESMR function on our phones?
Don't know the exact timeframe, but routing voice over that frequency is a much simpler process than LTE upgrading.

I was in an 800Mhz ESMR area the other day, one with LTE coverage in the main parts of town, and 800Mhz EVDO on the outskirts of town...
This is incorrect. Sprint has no plans to deploy EV-DO 800, only CDMA1X 800 and LTE 800.

Your information needs facts to be backed up with your negative reviews. To my understanding all Sprint phones are using 1900mhz 3G and 4G LTE.

I am confused on how you know you were using the 800mzh ESMR signal? Second IDEN is still active until midnight tonight, and thirdly how do you know your phone even picks up a 800ESMR signal?

Only 2 phones can do it once system is launch HTC One and Galaxy 4. Other phones that come out should be able to do it, but we'll see.

If you're talking about 800MHz SMR on CDMA 1x, then almost every phone Sprint has released since the Evo 3D supports it. If you're referring to LTE on 800MHz SMR then no current handsets support that. There will be three or so hotspots/USB sticks that support 800MHz LTE coming out this summer with handsets to follow this fall.

Samsung Galaxy 4 LTE/LTE Advanced 800 MHz, 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2600 MHz
HTC One LTE/LTE Advanced 800 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2600 MHz
Samsung Note II and Samsung Galaxy 4 LTE 1900
Unless sources are incorrect here are the LTE Specs on current devices

It depends on what area you're in. Some folks already have been using 800MHz CDMA and have been doing so for months now.
